Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s visit to Croatia on Thursday has further deepened the bilateral relations and strengthened the economies of the two countries.
Croatia marked Erdoğan’s last stop on a three-day tour of the Balkans that took him earlier this week to Bosnia-Herzegovina and then Serbia.
Türkiye and Croatia are allies with “deep-rooted” historical and cultural ties, although the countries do not share common borders, Erdoğan told a news conference alongside his Croatian counterpart Zoran Milanovic in the capital Zagreb.
“Our bilateral trade volume surpassed the pre-pandemic level and reached $900 million (TL 16.4 billion), recovering strongly last year,” he said, stressing that they want to double the figure in the coming period and then exceed $5 billion.
